Are they going to announce when this is done? Is there any chance of stopping it. THe docs wanted my mom to do this to her mother, and she refused. THere is a difference between letting someone die and STARVING THEM TO DEATH!! She did eventually pass away in peace.

Oh, how I hope something can be done. I really feel for the parents.

It was exactly one year ago today when our family said goodbye for the last time to our loving father, who had been in hospice care. The room was filled with all his family at the time just the way he wanted it.

Terri deserves at least that.

OK folks, get Gov. Bush to exercise his authority as Gov. to protect Terri.. EMAIL HIM THIS OR A SIMILAR MESSAGE. Call if you can (can't find a phone # for his office)..




3/18/2005

Dear Gov. Bush,

Under Article I Section 2 of the Constitution of the State of Florida, Terri Schiavo has the enumerated right to life. The State Constitution also states that "No person shall be deprived of any right because...physical handicap."

Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer does not have the authority do deprive Terri of this right simply because she cannot communicate, and he is using this physical handicap to deprive her of this right, in clear violation of the State Constitution.

On order to enforce Terri's right to I encourage you to exercise your authority as Governor of Florida to ensure that she is protected.

Judge George Greer’s order to allow the tube to be removed will cause chaos at the local level. The local authorities will be prevented, by court order, from enforcing Terri's right to life as enumerated under the State Constitution. The only reason she is being deprived of this is due to her physical disabilities. Were she not disabled, she could defend herself.

The unconstitutional rulings issued by the judge have created a resistance to the execution of the laws and Constitution of Florida, a condition under which Florida Statute 250.28 gives you authority to utilize the Florida National Guard in order to eliminate such resistance. Please utilize the guard to ensure her feeding tube remains in place and her sustenance continued.

Sincerely

Does anyone see the parellels between this and an abortion?

Two beings in a vegitated state at the mercy of outside forces they cannot control.

What is sad is that the system in place does not default on the protection of life but on the certitude of death.

This is a sad indictment of the inhumanity (evil) that passes itself of as liberalism.

" “When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, bthat they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men [and Women], deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Has anyone pointed this out...

Liberals in general want to separate a child from their parents in everyway possible. They do it all around us.

In the Liberal Camp...
If a girl gets pregnant by her boyfriend, they or she decides on an abortion. In most liberal states the parents ARE DENIED any knowledge of such abortion, let alone being involved in the decision or even consent stages.

Isn't Terri's case very similar. Her spouse has all the decision and her parents are denied any.

The BLOOD family IS CUT OFF by the liberal system.

Isn't this a FAIR PARALLEL?

I have a living will. I don't want to be kept alive artificially.

But. And this is a big one, Terri's situation is different.

She needs to be treated. She needs as much physical therapy as possible. She needs a chance. A chance she hasn't been given. That's a difference.

I'm going to have my living will amended. If I'm in a coma because of what might be foul play, I want to be treated aggressively for up to a year before the plug is pulled. I want a chance too.

If it's old age and a painful disease, no extraordinary measures, please. But that's not this circumstance. And everyone senses it.

There are too many unanswered questions here. Why didn't the husband get help for her when help would have mattered? Wouldn't most grieving husbands want to try something? He didn't give up after trying. He didn't try. If Terri really felt like he said, why didn't she sign a living will? Does the state default to no treatment, no help, and starvation death in cases of potential foul play?

Something stinks in this case, and we all feel it. The stench reaches to our souls. This doesn't feel like respect for a woman's wish to die peacefully, it feels like murder.

The doctors are giving her overdoeses of morphine so she dies IMMEDIATELY.

The only thing that will save her is to have that Pontius Pilate governor stop washing his hands and get out the national guard to take her into protective custody.

The tyranny of the juidciary from which our nation has been afflicted for 100 years must end NOW!

CALL NOW:

Governor Jeb Bush: 850-488-4441

E-mail: jeb@jeb.org and jeb.bush@myflorida.com and fl,governor@eog.state.fl.us.

The time for the revolution to begin has long passed. We poor fools have allowed the political and judicial class to overwhelm us and we're left wringing our hands.

Felos is making me ill on TV now. He keeps saying she wants to die. He actually wants us to think she wants to die of thirst and hunger.

He is comparing Congress to Hitler, etc. while actually supporting euthanasia like Mengele practiced.
